It's officially 2026 for the GMT+ side of the world! Whether you've already started your celebrations or are still waiting for the clock to strike midnight, I hope you enjoy this first chapter of the year!
---------------------
After the daily limit hit on 'Teli A', the market's speculation room and sentiment were instantly further opened up.
In the entire conceptual sector of 'SOE Reform', 'Oversold Rebound', and 'Sub-new Stocks', a group of 'Teli A' copycat stocks such as Wanfang Development, Hailuo New Material, Star Power, Xinxiang Chemical Fiber, Phoenix Shares, Sanxia New Material, Chuansheng Jiuzhou, Wanfu Bio, Puyang Huicheng, Tiancheng Automation... all rapidly surged.
At the same time, blue-chip stocks on the main board, and core constituent stocks of major indices.
After two consecutive trading days of adjustments and the clearing out of a large amount of short-term floating capital, they also ushered in a strong rebound.
Driven by the comprehensive rise of these stocks.
And also due to the recovery of market investment and speculative sentiment, and the increased profit-making effect in both markets.
The Shanghai Composite Index, Shenzhen Component Index, and ChiNext Index consistently showed an aggressive upward trend from the moment of official opening, unilaterally advancing all the way.
At 10:00 AM, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 1%, while the ChiNext Index surged past the 3% gain mark.
At 10:20 AM, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 1.5%, and the ChiNext Index soared to 4%, returning to the 2700-point level.
At 11:02 AM, the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 2.3%, returning to 3900 points.
At 11:30 AM, by the time of midday closing for both markets, the ChiNext Index had surged to nearly a 5% gain, with hundreds of stocks hitting their daily limit in both markets.
Furthermore, in the afternoon.
With investment and speculative sentiment in both markets further warming up and surging.
Major market indices continued to skyrocket, constantly moving upwards along a 45-degree angle.
Finally, when 3:00 PM arrived.
The Shanghai Composite Index closed with a 3.51% gain, once again approaching 4000 points, while the ChiNext Index closed with a massive 5.98% surge, fully recovering the adjustments of the previous three trading days, showing a strong rebound.
And with major indices in both markets unilaterally skyrocketing across the board.
A host of popular constituent stocks in the conceptual sectors of 'SOE Reform', 'Oversold Rebound', and 'Sub-new Stocks' were once again heavily speculated on by various active short-term capital groups, initiating a wave of daily limits towards the close of trading.
Among them, in the 'SOE Reform' conceptual sector alone, over 15 stocks closed at their daily limit.
"Given the market's performance today, investment sentiment this weekend should further ferment."
Su Yi briefly reviewed the market after both exchanges closed, thinking to himself,
"This means 'Teli A' will likely maintain a relatively consistent expectation next Monday, continuing to open up room for speculation. As for when a major divergence will reoccur, it probably depends on how capital and sentiment evolve on the main conceptual line of 'SOE Reform'."
According to his analysis, as long as the market trend and overall investment sentiment are positive.
Then, 'Teli A', which is already a barometer of market sentiment, will definitely see continuous follow-on capital entering to go long.
And he can then guide sentiment and follow-on trading to continue pushing the market upwards, expanding his holding profits.
After reviewing, Su Yi glanced at his stock account's profit and loss data for the day.
He saw that his buy order for 10,000 lots at the daily limit price, placed in the morning, had not been filled.
Therefore, his total holding of 'Teli A' shares remained at 53,000 lots.
However, due to 'Teli A' hitting its daily limit today, the market value of his holdings had increased from over 98.9 million yesterday to 109 million.
As for the total assets in the account.
They increased from 124 million yesterday to 133 million, with a single-day profit of 9.91 million.
"Mr. Su, do you have any engagements tonight?"
As Su Yi closed his computer and was about to leave the trading room, Lin Xiaoxiao knocked and entered, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Su Yi glanced at her and replied, "Not at the moment."
"Then may I treat you to dinner?"
Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile,
"I want to thank you."
Su Yi asked puzzled,
"Thank me for what?"
Lin Xiaoxiao said,
"Because I brought in a big client like you, Mr. Su, I finally received my first special bonus since joining the company. And thanks to you, Mr. Su, I no longer have to do door-to-door sales.
Oh... you don't know how tiring it was before, going to bank branches and major office buildings in the Financial Street every day to stake out, and still not being able to attract many new clients."
"Sure!"
Su Yi looked at her excited face, as if seeing his former self as a working professional.
"But..."
Lin Xiaoxiao paused, then added,
"Mr. Su, what kind of food do you like? Western, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?"
"Chinese food will do,"
Su Yi considered for a moment, then said,
"Isn't there a 'Xiangzeyuan' nearby? Their dishes are quite good."
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the restaurant Su Yi mentioned not only had a good reputation but also prices she could afford, so she immediately said,
"Alright, I'll go arrange it right away."
After speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao exited the trading room.
A short while later, when she returned, everything had been arranged.
Moreover, at this time, it was also the normal closing time for the brokerage office.
So, the two walked out of the office and drove to 'Xiangzeyuan', a restaurant primarily known for its home-style private dishes.
This restaurant is located in a prime business district near Modu Financial City.
Coupled with its good reputation for dishes and relatively affordable prices, it's usually packed during meal times.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao had called ahead to book a small private room, avoiding the awkwardness of waiting in line.
"Mr. Su, you're probably not a local of Modu, are you?"
After the two sat down in the private room, while waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that Su Yi had no bossy airs and was around her age, so she gradually became bolder in her speech.
"From your accent, you don't sound like you're from Modu."
Su Yi replied, "My hometown is Yuzhou. I only came to Modu when I went to university."
"Wow, my hometown is Spring City in Dian Province, which doesn't seem very far from Yuzhou,"
Lin Xiaoxiao said in surprise.
"And I also went to university in Modu."
"Which university did you graduate from?"
Su Yi asked.
Lin Xiaoxiao replied,
"Modu Business School."
"Finance major?"
Su Yi questioned, then added,
"Then it's quite good that you could get a job at Huaxin Securities' branch."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and said,
"That's right, so I'm quite content. Many of my friends who graduated at the same time have already left Modu to develop their careers back in their hometowns."
"Those who can't stay will always go back,"
Su Yi said.
"The city of Modu isn't for everyone."
"Mr. Su, what about you? Which university did you graduate from? Fudan, Jiaotong, or the University of Finance and Economics?"
Lin Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"It should be the University of Finance and Economics, right?"
Su Yi nodded slightly and said,
"Actually, I only realized after graduating that where you graduated from isn't that important."
"I think it's quite important,"
Lin Xiaoxiao said.
"If I had also graduated from the University of Finance and Economics like you, Mr. Su, I might have been able to join our company's asset management or investment research departments, instead of being a stockbroker at a branch office.
In that case, my salary... should also be much higher, right? Oh, by the way, Mr. Su... you must be a professional stock trader or investor, right?"
"Why do you think I'm a professional stock trader?"
Su Yi asked.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled softly and said,
"Because you basically come to our office every day, and... all this wealth you have, it can't be all earned from scratch after graduation, can it? I guess your family background must be quite good, and your parents support your path in professional investing."
"Then you guessed wrong,"
Su Yi said with a smile, but didn't explain further.
At this moment, the dishes were all served.
Lin Xiaoxiao ordered a few bottles of beer.
Before even tasting the food, she immediately downed three glasses on the spot to express her gratitude to Su Yi.
Su Yi watched the lively, forthright, simple, and innocent girl in front of him, and his mood brightened.
He drank a few glasses with her.
"Mr. Su, can you teach me how to trade stocks or invest in the future?"
After a few drinks, Lin Xiaoxiao gradually felt a bit dizzy and couldn't help but babble,
"I also want to make money, lots and lots of money, then buy a house in Modu, a big house, and bring my parents over, so they know that their daughter can also live very well by her own abilities."
Su Yi watched her gradually get hazy and said with a smile,
"Securities practitioners are prohibited from privately trading stocks, have you forgotten?"
"Oh, right, I forgot about that."
Lin Xiaoxiao patted her head, reached for her glass, and continued drinking.
Su Yi saw that if she kept drinking, she might become truly confused, so he couldn't help but say,
"Alright, we've eaten enough, and I've received your thanks. Let's stop here for tonight!"
After saying that, Su Yi called the waiter, paid the bill, and walked out of the private room with a slightly hazy Lin Xiaoxiao.
Arriving in the lobby, Su Yi was about to ask the hotel's front desk staff to call a designated driver for him when he suddenly bumped into a familiar figure.
